Chapter 70: The Soul Seeks His Life (2)
Concubine Min's funeral was handled by Concubine Xian Ying, although it was not a good death, Dongfang Chen listened to the words of the Queen Mother, took care of her posthumous grief, and also retained the dignity of the prince that Dongfang Jing deserved. The literary network has you all the way
In the Mingguang Palace, the white clothes are plain, the incense and candle offerings have already been arranged, and the eldest prince Dongfang Jing is kneeling in front of Concubine Min's spirit with a small appearance, his eyes are red and swollen, and his crying is very pitiful.
Concubine Min lying in the coffin of the golden silk nanmu has already been decorated and neat by the people who entered the funeral of the Ministry of Rites, but the charred black piece is too terrifying, so she can't see her face, and she is only covered with a white brocade cloth.
This time, the new palace concubines in the palace all came here to mourn, and they only passed a scene in a hurry, but Concubine Min's parents were not allowed to come, they were afraid that they would come, and they didn't dare to set fire to the palace, and they didn't care about it in order to have this honor and be buried, otherwise even the Xie family behind her would have to sit together.
Looking at the three characters Xie Yaohua with white characters on a red background on the tablet in front of him, Wei Qingguan only felt desolate, Concubine Min had become her code name in the palace all her life, who would remember that she once had such a fresh and graceful name.
"If you break the sparse and sparse Yaohua, you will leave your home."
Wei Qingguan walked straight to the coffin, looking at the corpse placed in the white cloth, his lips were cold, none of these condolences dared to enter the coffin, even Dongfang Jing let the nursing mothers and mothers who were waiting for him stop, the corpse was terrifying, who dared to open it and take a look, Wei Qingguan held the coffin mouth, looked straight in, but inadvertently, he had sprinkled some fine white powder inside!
When Concubine Xian and Concubine Ying came in together, Wei Qingguan was squatting beside the crying Dongfang Jing, different from the whispered persuasion of others, Wei Qingguan whispered to Dongfang Jing, "Good boy, cry for your mother, she is still here, she can hear your crying, and she will definitely come back, and she will not let go of any of her!" β
The tone of voice that is neither yin nor yang is terrifying, and even the grandmothers serving around her are a little afraid of Wei Qingguan, and they don't know what happened to this queen to say such things!
When Concubine Xian stepped in from outside, she happened to hear the whole thing, these days Wei Qingguan is different from before, she always feels that Wei Qingguan is a little scary, strange and scary, especially always likes to say something brainless.
When Wei Qingguan saw them coming in, he stood up from the ground and asked, "Who is here tonight?" β
The original Queen Mother was going to give Concubine Min a decent funeral, and the coffin was put into the ground, but Wei Qingguan said that since she had given her this posthumous mourning, it was necessary to stop in this palace for three days, so there was a vigil.
Wei Qingguan himself has just recovered from a serious illness, and he has already pushed off the matter of Concubine Min's funeral, Concubine Xian and Concubine Ying are the assistant of the Sixth Palace, and they will naturally come forward in this matter, Dongfang Jing is young, even if he can't keep it all night, so someone must take care of such a thing here, after all, it was the Queen Mother who personally opened her mouth to give Concubine Min this honor, and it was too hasty to say it.
"Concubine Ying has a child to take care of, the concubine has discussed with her, these three days, she guarded the first half of the night, the concubine came to take care of the second half of the night, and it is okay to come, the queen doesn't have to worry, your body is just right, plus you have to take care of the little prince, you need to take good care of your body."
Concubine Xian Yingying was blessed, looking at some of the reductions, she replied very respectfully, Wei Qingguan smiled after hearing this, "It's hard to be Sister Xianfei!" β
It didn't take any effort to get it, and God really helped her! Wei Qingguan couldn't help laughing, this smile made Concubine Xian feel more and more uneasy, but before she could speak, Wei Qingguan had already left......
Late at night, there was not a little starlight in the gray sky, Wei Qingguan sat on the rocking chair in front of the carved window lattice with a cup of strong tea, looking at the moonlight covered by dark clouds, the gray and black clouds covered by the little moonlight moved very fast, she held the cup in her hand, took a sip from time to time, shook the rocking chair under her, and waited quietly.
"Ah......h
"Ah...... Yes...... Hell, ghost, ghost! β
The sharp and poignant shout cut through the silent inner courtyard of the deep palace as expected, Wei Qingguan's lips rose, and he smiled, this poignant voice is really good, sure enough, everyone in this world is afraid of ghosts!
The sound source came from two places, one was naturally Concubine Min's mourning hall, and the other was the Yuntai Hall of Li Zhaoyi in the past, the moment the screams of the two places sounded, the quiet deep palace was like an explosion, and it was boiling in an instant, and the sound of commotion resounded throughout the entire six palaces!
"Mother, it's a commotion!" Banxia, who was accompanying Wei Qingguan, spoke the first time he heard the voice.
"It's a commotion, let's go to sleep, wait for half a night, I'm sleepy, others come to knock on the door, ignore it, and talk about it tomorrow!" Wei Qingguan raised his voice with satisfaction, put down the hot tea in his hand, and went straight to Banxia to help him, put down the curtains around him, and fell asleep with the noisy noise outside.
And the Mingguang Hall and the Yuntai Hall had already opened, and in the middle of the night, a blue fire suddenly burned in Concubine Min's coffin, and the flames suddenly burned faintly, which frightened the perilla who was originally guarding the lantern for Concubine Min, and shook his hand, and screamed, and the altar where the lamp oil was splashed was everywhere, and the altar was almost not burned.
She saw a ghostly fire in the coffin with her own eyes, and the screams alarmed the guards outside, but when the guards came in, the fire had long since disappeared, and Shiso's back was full of cold sweat, and the clothes inside were already soaked with that thin layer of sweat.
And Ah Li, who was keeping vigil for Li Zhaoyi in the main hall of the Yuntai Palace, was so frightened that he was scattered, as he had been guarding it before, occasionally adding lamp oil, and he saw a white shadow floating in the hall, and the white shadow was surrounded by a cloud of blue fire, and the white shadow flew up and down, just in front of Ah Li's eyes, Ah Li was so frightened that he rushed out of the main hall of the Yuntai Palace, running all the way and shouting loudly, there were ghosts, and after running out of the door, he crashed into the guard of the night watch, and fainted straight and straight!
Concubine Xian was resting in the side hall, after being alarmed by a scream of Zisu, when she came in clothes, Zisu was already frightened, and the whole person was trembling...... Empress...... There's a ghost fire out there! β
Concubine Xian's face turned pale in an instant, Zi Su was the most durable palace maid around her, and she could scare her into such a ...... Concubine Xian's heart was shocked, and she didn't care about Zisu's stop, and walked towards the coffin, I don't know if it was too coincidental, she just stepped forward, and a cloud of Youlan fire burst out again, just in Concubine Min's coffin, blue light appeared, and I don't know who called out "Ghost, ghost fire!" β
Concubine Xian was also too frightened to step forward, pinched her white fingertips, reminding her that it was indeed not a dream, she was proud of her head, and she couldn't stop retreating a lot under her feet, until she retreated outside the door, when a cold wind blew, she was shocked to realize that she was already scared into a cold sweat!
** Between them, the haunted things in the palace are spreading, and everyone is in danger, especially at Li Zhaoyi and Concubine Min, who died in this short period of time, everyone is saying that this is Concubine Min and Li Zhaoyi's unwillingness, complaining, and they want to take revenge on the mastermind behind the killing of them!
The more the words spread, the version couldn't help but spread around, and when the sun was up, Wei Qingguan was still sleeping soundly in the soft futon.
Concubine Xian** is not sleeping, and Lu Furui of Yuntai Hall is not much better, when she heard the sound, Lu Furui did not really see the ghost fire like Concubine Xian, but Ah Li, who was woken up, came back with a mouth full of mouths, dressed in white, which also made her heart beat with fright.
The two of them, who were pale and bloodless, naturally came to Wei Qingguan early in the morning, but waited until the sun was a little scorching, Wei Qingguan had not woken up, and the sound in the second half of the night made everyone in the palace so shocked that they did not sleep well, but the serious master was able to sleep until this moment, and the virtuous concubine was suspicious on her face, and she only felt that this sudden haunting might be related to Wei Qingguan.
"I'm really sorry for the two masters, the medicine used by the mother added soothing herbs, and I haven't gotten up until now, the two masters use some pastries first, and the slave maid will take a look."
Bang Chun came out with some melon and fruit cakes, smiled and played a round field, and then stepped into the inner room with shallow steps, and outside the hall, Lu Furui, who had been holding back for a long time, gently pulled Concubine Xian's sleeve and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I didn't see it last night, but Ah Li was so frightened that he was confused, Niangniang, what do you say this is?" In the end, she was only sixteen years old, and she personally poured medicine to watch Li Zhaoyi die hideously, Lu Furui felt uneasy, and when she heard Ah Li talking about the white shadow and ghostly words, she only felt a roar, as if someone was choking something. β§βmioβ§βbi(.*)gβ§β.οΌ.
Worried until now, she held her breath and still didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that if she spit it out, it would be the last mouthful.
"Things are strange, don't mess up with yourself, you haven't figured out anything yet, what are you afraid of, you can be killed when you are alive, you are dead and formless, where can you be killed, if there is really a powerful ghost, your mother should not have killed Mrs. Lu earlier, if you are confused, don't talk nonsense!"
After Concubine Xian glared at the weak-hearted Lu Furui fiercely, she scolded in a low voice, and after Lu Furui scolded her, she stopped talking and only closed her mouth.
Zisu, who was following Concubine Xian, has been beating very fast since last night, and her expression is also a little wooden, after listening to her master's scolding of Lu Furui, her hand hidden under her sleeve is only tightly held, and she dare not speak.
After a while, Wei Qingguan came out of the inside after freshening up, and his refreshed appearance became a great contrast with the people waiting in the hall, Wei Qingguan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" How do you act like you're fighting? β
"Last night, the Mingguang Hall and the Yuntai Hall suddenly burned two flames of Youlan, which frightened the two masters, the two masters came early in the morning to ask the mother, but they know what is going on!"
"Ghost fire, it must be Concubine Min and Li Zhaoyi who are back!"
